Blind rivet GESIPA 5x14 mm, aluminum body with steel mandrel, 250 pcs

Blind rivet GESIPA 5x14 mm, aluminum body with steel mandrel, pack of 250 is a one-sided fastening solution designed for joining thin metal sheets, profiles and assemblies where access is available from only one side. The rivet features an aluminum sleeve for corrosion resistance and lightweight performance combined with a steel mandrel for secure setting and high clamp strength. The 5×14 mm dimensions offer a balance between pull-out resistance and suitability for typical sheet metal thicknesses used in construction, automotive and HVAC applications.

Advantages

These blind rivets provide a reliable permanent joint with consistent setting characteristics when used with appropriate blind-riveting tools. The aluminum body resists corrosion in many environments while keeping the overall weight low; the steel mandrel offers controlled break-off and good shear strength. Supplied in a pack of 250, they allow efficient work without frequent resupply and reduce downtime on repetitive fastening tasks.

Suitable for

• Joining thin metal sheets and light-gauge profiles
• One-sided assembly work in construction and building envelope systems
• Automotive panel repairs and secondary assemblies
• HVAC ductwork and mounting of fittings where back access is restricted
• General-purpose fastening of enclosures, brackets and trim

Key specifications

• Rivet diameter: 5 mm
• Rivet length: 14 mm
• Body material: aluminum (corrosion-resistant lightweight sleeve)
• Mandrel material: steel (high-setting strength, controlled break)
• Pack quantity: 250 pieces
• Suitable sheet thickness range: typical for 5×14 mm blind rivets (ensures secure clamping for common thin-metal assemblies)

How to use

Prepare mating parts by aligning holes with the recommended 5 mm clearance. Insert the rivet through the assembled parts so the mandrel head sits flush against the outer face. Use a compatible blind-riveting tool adjusted for 5 mm rivets; place the mandrel into the tool nosepiece and actuate until the mandrel breaks off and the sleeve forms a secure blind head on the blind side. Inspect each joint to confirm the sleeve has deformed properly and the mandrel has snapped off close to the sleeve surface.

Recommendations

For best results, select a rivet nosepiece and rivet gun calibrated for 5 mm diameter rivets, verify hole alignment and fit before setting, and avoid overtightening the tool to prevent excess mandrel protrusion or rivet distortion. Store rivets in a dry environment to preserve the aluminum body and prevent contamination of the mandrels.
